Opening Night

Sorry that I haven't posted in a couple of days. I have been working, working, working, and the weather has been unseasonable nice out.

The past few days, or nights I should say, I have been in rehearsals for a show I've ben designing. It's called 5 By 6 and it's five one act plays preformed by six actors. It's at the Subin Theatre between 5th and 4th st on Bainbridge. It opens tonight at 8pm.

It's a small space with a low grid and only 14 lighting instruments and 8 circuts. The instruments are all par 38 and should be par 56 for the space. When I was focusing my them i kept getting dark seams were the lights were just not spreading enough. I refocused 5 different times 3 different ways and finally just hung the only spare instrument I had. This seemed to remedy the problem.

I'll have to post my pics to flikr.

8x14

I worked today on the show I'm designing. It was the first rehearsal in the space. I went in and hung and focused the lights. We cued the show tonight. I can't tell what I think about the show as all we did was lighting tonight.

It's five one acts and I like most of them. There are one or two I could do with out, but Marc the director is really nice and easy to work with. I'm excited to be doing a design. The space is small and limited. I only have 8 circuts and 14 lighting instruments. My college black box had more than that and we were ghetto and poor!

So Warm

It was so nice here in Phliiy today. It was in the midd 50s! I was able to wear a dress and not freeze to death.

Not much is happening as I worked today. Tomorrow I load in the show I'm designing and go into tech with it. I don;t care too much for the loading in part, but I do enjoy the teching of the show.

I also am waiting and hoping for a contract from another theatre. I may be a spot op again for a show. I hope, I hope, I hope!

100th

This is my 100th post. It's so exciting, ok it's not that exciting, but it hasn't been a vry eventful day, or week for that matter.

I have most of today off so it's going to be an errend type of day. The usual stuff food shopping and cleaning.

The one cool productive thing I did so far today was set up my email newsletter for Blue Betty. You can sign up here on my blog. I started the newsletter to update those who want to be in the know about Blue Betty. It's going to only go out about once a month to let interested peeps know what's going on, what's new, and if I'm doing any special sale, or event. If anything it will be fun.

That is all for now I must be off to run errends.

Brrrrrrrrrrrr

It is cold! Really cold! Monday was so warm and beautiful and the last few days have been the total oppisit.

I haven't been too productive with my spring items, only having knit one hat.
My release date has been set and I'll be announcing when that is soon. I just need to get all my ducks in a row.

The Aftermath

This is a pic from this morning! The snow was so pretty!

This is the park near the Apartment. It was beautiful. This is how winter should look.

Update

Yesterday was my day off and it was so beautiful outside. It was 48F yesterday when I left the apartment and walked all over Philly. I didn't get too much done as I ran into friends at Whole Foods and spent the afternoon with them. I did finish one hat. Just one, but it's a start. I plan on knitting more once I'm working at the theatre again at the end of the month.

As for right now I must be off to my day job. I'm working like crazy this next two weeks.
